A Coincidence. 

SCENE L— Street ^cene. 

Enter, Greenberry, l. e. 

Greenherry. Hello ! dat niggali ain't lieali yet, I pre- 
sume likely he'll appeah shortly. I'm half 'feared to gc 
'round an' serenade de Blackrich girls to-night. Dat ol' 
Blackrich keeps a pow'ful heap ob money in his house an' 
half dozen big bull dogs 'round to keep watch ob it an' his 
two lubly daughters. Oh my ! what a lian'some gal Sussy 
is. I always feel de strangest sensation here when I think 
ab her. (p'acmg his hand to his right side 

Enter, Butler, r. e. 

Butler. What's de mattah, Greenberry ? Did some- 
body hit yoh in de rib wif a brick ? 

Green. Go long, fellah ! I's experiencing de sensations 
ob lub. (Butler drops flat on the stage) What fob yoh 
lyin' dere in de mud? 

Butler, {rising slo wig) Sensations ob lub? Yah ! yah ! 
yah! I's gwine to tell dat to obrybody I meet. 

Green. Oh ! yoh's low down darkey. Yoh's trash. De 
finer sentimental qualifies am not efficiently eveloped — • 

Butler. Look yeah, niggah! If yoh go on ravin' like 
iat yoh'll git in de asylums. De idea ob a big black darkey 
u;wine on like yoh was a while geniman in lub wif a million- 
aire's daughter. Go 'way, niggah ! git in yoh box! git in 
yoh box ! 

Grer.t. Let's drop dis yere question. It's beyond yoh 
incomprehension anyway. Is yoh ready to go 'round and 
gerenade Lize Blackrich to-night ? 

Butler. Dat's what I'm ready for. Do yoh think de ol' 
man '11 ask us in an' treat us ? 



4 A COINCIDENCE. 

Green. Humph! yoh don't know dat ol' man. He 
wouldn't treat low down darks. 

Butler. Dey say he has six bull dogs. 

Green. Dat's what he has an' he feeds dem on niggahs. 
{dog harl's behind scene, Butler leaps uj)on Geeenberry's 
hack and attempt's to mount his shoulders, therehij crushing 
his tile) Wah — what yoh mean ? {shaking him off 

Butler. Kmi — ain't dat one ob his dogs ? 

Green. Presume likely it is, bnt he's chained. Look 
dere yoh's ruined dat hat. I won't be able to pawn it any- 
more. 

Butler. I wanted to get 'way from de dog. 

Green. What time am we goin' 'roun' dar ? 

Butler. I don't know. What time am it now ? Look 
at yoh turnip. 

Green. My turnip's at de watch maker' — a potato bu<2 
got in de works. 

Butler. Sorry to heah it. I's gettin' a diaraon' an' fob 
new crystals put in my watch. 
Green. Watch yoh givin' us ? 

Butler learis against iving for support and fans himse^J 

ivith hat. 

Butler. Golly ! dat's enough to 'lectrocute a man. If 
yoh do dat again, I'll draw my raizor. 

Green. If yoh draw dat on me yoh'll draw yoh las' bret. 

Butler. Dat's big talk ! dat's big talk ! 

Green. Yes, an' it's from a big man, too. 

{struts around 

Butler. Well, if we go 'roun' dere to serenade dem gals, 
how mus' we perceed ? It's danjus to monkey wif de dogs. 

Green. I hab a plan, I will unfold it. 

Butler. Is it on paper ? 

Green. Ob co's it ain't. 

Butler. Well, how's yoh gwine to unfold it? 

Green. Oh ! dat's merely a figger ob speech. 

Butler, [aside) Edicated niggah ! 

Green. Lis am my plan. Ob co's de dogs will be 
shained. I tol' Sussy an' Lize to see dat dey was. But we 
mus' approach de place wif caution. 

Butler. Don I won't go! den I won't go! Dat settles it. 
Don't want no otUa nio;.2j[ui 'ion.o;, jus' us two, 



A COINCIDENCE. 

Green. Who said sumpin' 'bout notha niggah ? 

Butler. Yoh said we mas' go wif Caution an' I don't 
want him long. 

Green. Well, if yoh ain't de mos' numb skullest darkey 
I evah seed. Yoh's not delegated to apprehend de com- 
mon appelations used by men ob edification. When I say 
caution, I mean care — 'proach de place wif care. 

Butler. Yoh talk so onsensible dat a cultched nigjah 
can't understan' de ha'f yoh say. 

Green. Dis am my plan. We mus' 'proach de house 
carefully an' it is best foh us to separate now, an' proceed 
by diff'ent roads. Yoh go to de place by way ob Peach 
Blossom lane an' I'll come down Oeatfish avenue. As soon 
as we get in front ob de house, we'll bof gib a low whistle 
as a signal to start de music. 

Butler. S'pose Blackrich heahs dat music, won't he sot 
(le dogs on us ? 

Green. He won't heah de music. He sleeps way in de 
back ob de house wif a ton ob feathahs ovah his head. 

Butler. Well, I mus' go to suppah now. ilight aftali 
suppah I'll get my mangelin an' come down Peach Blossom 
lane. 

Green. All righ t, I'll be dar wif mine, too. 

(JjarJtlng hehind scenes 

Butler. De dogs ! de dogs ! 
(Butler leaps on Greenberry's hack and exit, R. e. 

Enter, Pete, l. e. 

Pete. Hist ! Dis am de meetin' place. It's neah dehour. 
iat niggah done got heah. I mus' look foh feet prints, 
kneels and examines tracks) De trail am growin' hot. 

Enter, JiM, L. e., hits Pete across coat tails with stave 
and exits, R. e. 

Pete, {leaping to his feet) I b'lieve dar mus' be fairies 
bout yeah. 

Enter, Jim, r. e. 

Jim. What's de mattah, Pete? 
Pete. Why, hollo ! Jim, am dat yoh ? 
Jim, Yes, dat's me. 



b A COINCIBENCE, 

Pete. Yoh am punctual I see. 

Jim. De black handed an' mighty king ob de midnight 
mauraders am always punctual. 

Pete. Had yoh but been a moment late, I would hat

dis trusty blade in yoh heart. 

Jhn. Put dat away ! put dat away! 

Pete. What feah yoh? (brandhidng l-nife

or else yoh siiave yohse'f. 

Pete, We am procrastinatin'. Know yoh not w^hy we 
sought dis secluded spot ? 

Jim. To get away from de police. 

Pete. Oh! come off, nigjah ; yoh'U nevah make one ob 
dem fellars what yoh read 'bout in de books, {clutching 
Jim hj sleeve) We am assembled heah to plot de robbery 
ob de wealthy Blackrich mansion, which yoh see sleepin' in 
de cra^dle ob yondah valley. 

Jbn. I wondah if de dogs is sleepin' too. 

Pete. Listen ! Dese am my plans. We hab but a few 
minutes to operate. We will separate yeah; we mus' 
'proach de house carefully an' pioceed by diffi'nt roads. 
Yoh go to de place by Peach Blossom lane an' I'll come 
down Catfish avenue. As soon as we get in front ob de 
house we'll bot whistle as a signal to entah. Once inside, 
it wall be but de work ub a few moments to strangle de ol' 
man, procure his gold, an' 'scape to our mountain cave. 

Jbn. Is yoh gwine to do de strangling ? 

Pete. I will do it ; I'm an ol' hand at it. 

Jim. What yoh givin' us, coon? Yoh nevah strangled 
QOthin' but chickens. 

Enter ^ Fatty, k. e., folds arms, strikes aUltute and gazei
